I just installed a new engine in my 1995, when I bought it it came with the set of FR Shorty headers. The driver side fitment was off. The header exits about 4 inches closer to the firewall. I used a piece of flex pipe temporarily, and after the first the year will have a new y pipe made. My engine is the 5.0. Just curious if anyone has any experience with this. Could the headers be for a 5.8 or even a Bronco?

Most likely their for a mustang.

I saw your new engine thread. I was gonna ask if those headers fit the stock y-pipe.

I'm guessing it's not for the f150. From what I've been reading, one can get headers that fit the stock y-pipe. Do you have a pic of what you did to yours? I saw the last pic on the driver's side. Looks nice. Thinking of getting a rebuild this year (or a new-used engine) and since it is out, why not, get headers. So starting the research now.

Drivers side, mods were needed. Notice how close exhaust sits to firewall and runs thru trans shift cable.

Passenger side. No fitment issues. Along with headers I used Mr Gasket locking bolts, Percy's aluminum gaskets, DEI heat boots and a new set of wires because I tried using $20 heat boots to begin with. And in my case the exhaust modifications.

It does add up! Have to pay to play I guess.

Edit. I forgot some heat tape to protect the trans shift cable. Also some flex pipe and clamps so I could drive it to get the exhaust repaired.

That's a Mustang header that you have on the passenger's side.
